Let's Read ANIMORPHS (Book Three: The Encounter) feat. Daniel Alberto
15Reading/reviewing books 1 and 2 of the Animorphs Original Series with Daniel Alberto of @theboxcutterpodcast
Official Description
When Tobias, Jake, Rachel, Marco and Cassie were given the ability to morph, they were also given one very important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias stayed in his morph for too long. Now he's a hawk -- with a boy's mind -- forever.
And he's starting to forget what he looked like. He's losing control, and wants to give in to the hawk brain inside him. Tobias knows he can't give up, but he's spotted a rat down below. He turns in midair and plummets down to the earth. He's focused. He's determined. He strikes...
"I didn't care. I wanted to hit something. I wanted to wake up. I wanted to fall to the ground because my wings had disappeared and been replaced by clumsy legs and flailing arms. I wanted to be me again. I am human! I am human! I am Tobias!"
―Tobias[src]
The Encounter, published in August 1996 and written by K. A. Applegate, is the third book in the Animorphs series. It is the first book narrated by Tobias.
